To this day, just about any CSX train other than O721 or O717 is hard to get in afternoon daylight. We had been watching this train ever since Tim (FloridaTrainKid) announced it to us on Friday that it was coming. Originally, I expected it to be a Sunday late afternoon arrival. The train got held up for untold hours at Wildwood Yard on Sunday and finally got the go, at about 12am, right when I was about to call it one. I originally expected it to hit SFL then at 7-8 am, and of course gave a "whatever" look at the ATCS board, lol that morning when I just saw train after train (Tri-Rail). Apparently when the class 'ended' early at school, I checked my email and Tim sent a message with some magical letters, lol: "Passing Coconut at 1:57 PM"... Coconut is in Boynton Beach, FL so I was in luck. My mom was also coming from an emergency trip from Turkey that day and I knew if I wanted the catch it would take some convincing, but as you see eventually I got it. 

Our timing, not at the mercy of the airport and its tedious Customs process but because of traffic, made me not want to take the risk and go to Opa Locka Blvd, my original target. Instead I settled for one closer; a bit skeptical at first but knew it would be the only possible place considering my timing, and the nice thing is the tight Miami feeling is there in that dead end. Either way, I got these two in the meantine:

Note: I did not get the entire train as it came to a complete stop.

Thanks to Tim for the help catching this.
